-DO I DREAM?"
The dealings in Wall etreet during
the last few weeks more than parallel
the transactions at the height of the
South sea craze. Men there talk
about millions and billion:? in the same
careless way the fanner speaks of
pennies. The volume of these transac
tions of late has broken all records,
so that whereas a few years ago
checks for 5.000.000 or $10,000,000
were preserved as souvenirs, checks
for such amounts now attract little at
tention. A day or so ago one down
town bank put through the' clearing
house a single check for $10,000,000.
That had to do with some large under
taking, and with other Items footed
up an enormous day's exchange.
Checks for $10,000,000 or so have also
been used frequently of late, while
$1,000,000 items have now become so
common that they pas3 without special
comment.
These are transactions in dreams or
The Independent dreams. During the
last year the increase In wealth has
been perhaps four per cent. It Is cer
tainly cot five per cent. What then
do these transactions that run up into
the billions represent? Has there
been an increase of billions upon bil
lions of dollars In the wealth of the
country in the last few weeks? There
has not.
Many of these transactions are no
more substantial than the visions of
an opium eater. The other day J. P.
Morgan & Co. drew a check for $23,
000.000. It was drawn on the Na
tional City bank nnd Immediately de
posited in that bank to the credit of
the corporation to whom the check
was given. The whole operation was
drawing a check, cancelling it and
making a record in the books. The
corporation was practically the same
persons that drew the check. We can
all do business up in the billions that
way. Here Is a firm of John Smith
& Co. It is John Smith doing busi
Efs under that title. John Smith
draws a check on John Smith & Co.
for a million dollars. John Smith &
Co. credit John Smith with a million
dollars and then the check is de
stroyed. Then the said John Smith
goes out and dreams that he has done
business in one day of a million dol
lars. See the great prosperity!
These billion dollar trusts are much
of the same character. No money is
used. A lot of corporations turn over
their stocks and bonds to some desig
nated party. The said party destroys
the stocks and bonds and issues a hun
dred per cent more than were depos
ited of new stocks and bonds to the
same parties. Then these chap3 go
out and dream that they have made
millions. That is the way Morgan or
ganized the Steel trust. The follow
ing table gives the amount of stocks
and bonds of the various corporations
that were consolidated before the trust
was formed and which were destroyed,
and the stocks and bonds issued in
place of them:

If The Independent Is not dreaming,
Morgan watered that stock eight hun
dred fourteen and a quarter millions.
But these men say that they
have Increased the wealth of the coun
try $814,250,000. Who is it that
dreams? But that does not represent
all the water. Every one of the cor
porations that went into the steel
trust had watered their stock from
fifty to two hundred per cent before
they went Into the combination. By
that simple process then have they,
all told. Increased the wealth of the
country nearly two thousand billions.
Again we ask who dreams?
Remember that in all these trans-
! actions there is no cash Involved, or
at least not until after the combina
tion is perfected. When the old stock
and bonds have been destroyed, stock
of the concern under the new name
is Issued to the holders of the old and
the water is sold to the public and the
proceeds divided among the thieves.
When Morgan sells on the stock ex
changes of the world the $814,250,000
of watered stock then the men who
went Into it will be just that much
ahead by the transaction.
The plan on which all these great
trusts have been organized is the
same. They issue two kinds of stock.
common and preferred. The contract
Is that no dividends are to be paid on
the common stock until after the spe
cified interest on the preferred has
oeen paid. j.r anything is left over
after that It will be paid to the hold
ers of common stock. So the thing
can't be thrown into the hands of a
receiver until It fails to pay Interest
on the preferred stock. The holders
of common stock la reality have no ee
curity for their money except the
dreams of the promoters. The basis
upon which stock is issued is stated
by Morgan to be as follows:
"Statements furnished to us by offi
cers of the several companies show
that the aggregate of the net earnings
of the companies for the calendar year
1900 was amply sufficient to pay divi
dends on both classes of .the new
stocks, besides making provision for
sinking funds and - maintenance of
properties. It Is expected that by the
consummation of the proposed ar
rangement the necessity for large de
ductions heretofore made on account
of expenditures for improvements will
be avoided, the amount of earnings ap
plicable to dividends will be substan
tially increased and greater stability
of investment will be assured, without
necessarily increasing the prices of
manufactured products."
The question of capital invested, by
this new process, has been completely
eliminated. Interest on capital act
ually invested ha3 no more to do with
the income of a trust than it has in
regulating passenger and freight tar
iffs on the railroads. The proposition
is to take all that the industry will
bear. The basis of the issue of stocks
and bonds is not the amount of capi
tal invested, but what the trust can
be madeto produce In Income. Sev
eral manufacturies are looked over. If
they have been making fifty per cent
on their investment by the help of
tariffs and other privileges, then
stocks and bonds are to be issued for
five times as great an amount as the
actual capital and it is figured that
the stockholders will still get ten per
cent upon their Investments. That
is, wind is to become a "vested in
terest" to be defended upon the doc
trines hitherto laid ' down by the
courts.
Morgan is abroad disposing of this
$800,000,000 of wind. The steel stock
Is now quoted on the London ex
change. The money he gets out of it
he invests In English consols. He
took $50,000,000 worth of them, so he
must have been making some big
sales.
With wars going on all over the
world, with the expenditure of hun
dreds of millions in South Africa, Chi
na and the Philippines, there has fol
lowed a great demand for goods which
has been enormously stimulated by a
very great increase in the volume of
money. Under these circumstances
manufacturers have been able to make
large profits during the last two years.
These profits have been made the
basis for the capitalization of the steel
and other trusts. But when there
come bad crop years as there, surely
will, when the seniorage in the treas
ury is all coined, when there is no
more room for the incorporation of
new national banks and no more bank
money is issued, will this level of
prices be maintained? Will an at
tempt be made then to throw the bur
den of lower prices upon the wage
workers by reducing wages, 60 as to
keep up the dividends to the holders
of this watered stock? What will
happen in that event? If by reason of
the failure of crops the people cannot
buy goods and they pile up in the
warehouses and lie there unsold, can
these dealers in dreams find some
other way to pay interest on stocks?
If they cannot, what will happen?
Morgan will have his money safely
invested in English consols, but what
will the fellows who hold steel stocks
do for an Income?
Was there ever a tulip craze in Hol
land? Was there ever a South Sea
bubble? In the words of the poet: "Do
I dream?"
How about Carnegie? He has two
hundred millions of bonds secured by
a mortgage upon all the tangible
property of the whole trust. Evidently
Carnegie does not have much faith in
n income from dreams. This craze
has not unbalanced his mind.
N AXIONAlTDK BT8
In the beginning of the populist
movement we used to have a good deal
to say about national debts. What we
said then, we stand by today. The
forecasts that we made have all be
come true. National debts keep on
growing and the interest on them
which is a dead loss to producers, con
tinues to increase. It is the heaviest
burden that the white man has to bear.
A statement just issued by the treas
ury bureau of statistics shows that
the national debts of the world have
increased in a little over a century at
the rate exhibited in this table:
1793 $ 2,433,250,000
1820 7,299,750,000
1848 8,419,045,000
1862 13,382,875,000
1872 22,410,232,000
1882 26,249,901,000
1901 31,493,749,000
Within the lifetime of men of middle
age these debts have tripled. They now
amount to a sum so vast that the im
agination cannot conceive them. They
continue to grow. What does the
most of it stand for? It is what the
world has paid for the destruction of
life and property for most of it is war
debts. The debt in the United States
has been made permanent. It is not
the intention that it shall ever be paid.
To pay off the debts would.be to de
stroy the whole national banking sys
tem. While wealth rules and men de
cay that will never bs done.
ANOTHER BIO STEAL
The Independent has always given
due credit for whatever good work
McKinley's agricultural department
has done and it had hoped that in the
universal . rascalities of all the other
departments the farmer end of the
cabinet .would come out unscathed.
But It seems that corruption runs riot
there as well as elsewhere. The whole
sale seedsmen held a conference the
other day and demanded that there
should be an investigation of the de
partment on account of the rake-off
that some - seedsman has obtained in
the contract for furnishing seeds for
distribution.
It seems that when the contract if or
the distribution of 1901 was awarded,
the usual specifications were made, but
they have been ignored. Instead of
named varieties of vegetables, pack
ages are marked "selected variety,"
and the quantities in every package
are less than required. Packages of
cucumber seed, according to the con
tract, were to run 80 to the pound.
Those weighed run 194 to the pound.
Onion seed, which should run 96 to the
pound, take 106; peas, which should
run 160 to the bushel, run 304, . and
sweet corn packages take 290 to the
bushel, where they should take only
60.
Packages marked with the names of
high-priced tobacco seeds contain
only cheap vege table seeds, while none
shows contents such as were called
for by the printed list upon them.
Many contained cheap seeds of var
ieties not called for at all under the
contract.
According to the seedsmen, the con
tract was let for about $78,000, and
called for the distribution of sixteen
or seventeen millions of packages.
Filling the contract as it was filled,
say the seedsmen, can be done for one
half the money and at a profit. There
must be a collusion somewhere.
The Independent claims that this
rake off by some good Mark Hanna
republican seedsman is entirely too
large. It will likely make trouble in
the future. A good many of those
packages have been examined in this
office and they were a fraud in more
ways than one. Five or six little
packages were enclosed in a larger
one and on the outside it said "selected
varieties," but it did not say what.
The formal charges that have been
made are as follows:
"First The specific varieties of
seeds, indicated in the printed specifi
cations of the 27th of January, 1900,
have not been supplied, but very com
mon, and very cheap sorts substituted,
thus giving the contractor great ad
vantages. ''
"Second No varieties whatever are
named on the printed packets, only
the words 'A selected variety,' thus
giving the contractor great advantages.
"Third The stipulated weights
named 4n the specifications of the 27th
of January, 1900, have not been given,
but reduced quantities from 10 to 50
per cent less than the specifications,
thus giving the contractor great ad
vantages. "Fourth Because of other irregu
larities, which can be named, giving
the contractor extraordinary advant
ages for enormous profits."
COLOR PREJUDICE
While the republican politician can
always evolve enough love for the
negro just before election to get his
vote, it is nevertheless an indisputa
ble fact that the color prejudice in the
north is just as strong, if not stronger,
than it is In the south.
The violent personal attack "which
has been made on Mr. William Han
nibal Thomas for the views he holds in
his book on "The American Negro,"
it is a fact to be noted that the Union
League club of New York, the chief
republican club in the country, has
just been torn into two warring fac
tions over the proposition to exclude
negroes as waiters, and the New York
Evening. Post, that aforetime stalwart
defender of the colored man, says that
"unless friends of the negro take more
Interest in his training as a servant, it
Is confidently predicted that a few
years will see him entirely crowded
out of every desirable position in res
taurants, clubs and homes."
The Union League club is the most
partisan republican organization on
hearth. After it has refused to allow
colored men even to act as servants
in its sacred precincts, it will go into
the next campaign, with a cry of race
prejudice in the south and demand
that congressional representation shall
be cut down in that part of the country
because they oppress the negro.
OTER A MILLION MURDERERS
. When McKinley sits on his front
porch In his old age and ruminates
over the acts of his life, will he have
any compunctions of conscience over
the thousands of Filipinos who have
been slain by his orders? What will
the historian have to say when he
gathers the facts that the military
censor has suppressed. It will all be
published bye and bye. iJvery day
adds to the knowledge of the gory
facts. Brigadier General Bell, has re
turned from the islands and in an in
terview given out in Washington he
says: "One-sixth of the natives of
Luzon have either been killed or have
died of the. dengue fever In the last
two years. The loss of life by killing
alone has been very great.
"The insurgents also caused us
much trouble by tampering with our
telegraph, and , for awhile we were
obliged to treat every one outside of
our lines as an enemy. If a man was
caught within 150 yards of a tele
graph pole he was shot."
That is the kind of work that has
been carried on in the Philippines for
the last . two years by the order of
the villain of the ages, who smiled,
smirked, said his prayers and went to
church in Washington. If there are
ten million people in the Philippines,
then by the orders of this old benev
olent assimilation pharisee, there have
been 1,666,000 people destroyed. That
is a pretty heavy load for the old sin
ner to carry when he tries to make his
way up to the pearly gates. He or
dered the war without the authority
of congress. If the least kindness had
been shown toward the Filipino lead
ers there would have been no war and
the United States would have had
more advantages than It will ever get
now. nsvs
ERA OF CORRUPTION
Notwithstanding the strict censor
ship that was established with the in
coming of McKinley and the cowardice
of the great opposition dailies who
make no effort to get at the facts,
there has in various ways from time to
time enough leaked out to show that
there is an era of corruption at Wash
ington, which has exceeded anything
of the kind since the days of the great
whisky frauds, salary-grabbing and
credit mobilier. Whether it is in the
Philippines, Cuba, the treasury "depart
ment, department of agriculture or
wherever we . look, the same story is
told. After the days of the old Indian
ring that created such a revolt among
all honest men, it was thought that
when the new system was established
that the robbery and cheating of the
Indian wards of the United States had
been forever prevented. But the Mc
Kinley thieves are the sharpest scoun
drels that ever held office and they
have found ways to fill thir pockets
in spite of ' all the laws made to pre
vent it.
A report by, the investigating com
mittee of the national civil service re
form league, on conditions in the Ind
ian service, with particular reference
to the appointment of agents under
the present administration, has been
presented to the council of the league.
The report says in part:
"Under the patronage appointments
these wards of the nation, have in
many cases been despoiled by fraudu
lent contracts, where the agents
have obtained large sums of money in
violation of law, while the morals of
the Indians have been corrupted by
the example of caretakers who are
often drunken, brutal, licentious and
dishonest. Recently the secretary of
the interior required that the bids for
the leasing of Indian lands should be
opened and the leases awarded in
Washington under the direct supervi
sion of the Indian bureau, and not, as
formerly, upon the reservations. The
result of this system and of the expos
ure of fraudulent use of Indian lands,
already shows a net gain to the Ind
ians of about $150,000, the greater part
of which was upon the Osage reserva
tion alone. Nothing could better illus
trate the enormous waste and presumptive-
peculations which have ex
isted in the past in this one feature of
Indian administration."
The demand made upon Cuba is not
for a stable government, law, order
and justice, but for coaling stations, a
slice of her territory and a general
suzerainty over t.he whole island and
the inhabitants thereof. A depart
ment of hypocrisy should be estab
lished in every plutocratic university
and the young men in the classes
should be pointed to McKinley as the
great exemplar of this new attachment
to government.
No one not a citizen of the United
States can practice before the United
States supreme court, butthe other
day upon the motion of the solicitor
general, Frederlco Degetan, a citizen
of Porto Rico, was admitted to prac
tice before that court. This has giv
en rise to a great deal of discussion.
It is claimed that the supreme court
thus declared that Porto Rico is a part
of the United States and that the con
stitution follows the flag.
It seems almost impossible for some
people to do any clear thinking when
they undertake to investigate an econ
omic question. They say that if some
plutocrat spends a hundred thousand
dollars on a swell dinner or some other
society function, he puts a hundred
thousand dollars in circulation and
benefits the community. He don't do
anything of the kind. That hundred
thousand dollars is just as much in
circulation before the dinner as it is
afterwards.- The plutocrats don't have
great vaults where their money , is
locked up and but of circulation. Their
money is In the banks and loaned out
and in circulation all the time just like
all the rest of the money That seems
to be one of those things that no mul
let head can find out.
A BANKER'S LOVE
The Junior Munsey Magazine has an
illustration of the bureau of printing
and engraving at Washington and un
der it are these words: " "They are so
busy making money that they work
day and night." The Independent
has had something to say about print
ing money by the ream for the na
tional bankers that has been going
on at Washington for the last two
years and it was backed up by this
plutocratic magazine, not only with
an illustration, but by the statement
that they are so busy that they have
to work night and day. So far the
bankers have been given over a hun
dred million of the paper money
printed at the institution at the cost
of the government. The bankers like
this government as administered by
McKinley. They think it is the best
kind of government that was ever in
vented. The comptroller of the currency is
sued a statement the other day show
ing that from March 14, 1900, to April
27, 1901, there has been an increase of
481 in the number of national banks,
the total now being .4,098, with an au
thorized capital of, $643,161,695, an in
crease of $76,853,600, having. $324,018,
380 bonds deposited, . an increase of
$79,406,810, circulation of $321,976,251
secured by bonds, an increase of '$105,
601,456. That is not all the money that Mc
Kinley has given to the bankers by
any means. They have received $100,
000,000 in the form of deposits which
they can loan out and get interest on.
Is it any wonder that the bankers love
McKinley? Two hundred and five mil
lions as a f ree r gift 'ought to start up
their affections. They pray for him
six times a day and then hire the
preachers to pray for him on Sunday.
There is no love like a banker's love
for McKinley.
There is a humorous side to this
thing. McKinley has coined nearly
fifty million of silver and issued over
a hundred million of paper money
and yet some of the idiots who edit
republican papers continue to talk
about "the gold standard being firm
ly established." That is enough to
make an army mule bray at midnight
after a hard day's march.
The editors of the dailies have dis
covered a new theme for discussion
and they are spreading their thoughts
on the subject over large amounts of
space. A Chicago professor was re
ported to have said to his class that
he was 37 years old, had never tasted
whisky, smoked or chewed or hugged
or kissed a woman. He afterwards
positively denied that he had ever giv
en utterance to the latter assertion,
but that made no difference. Every
daily from New York to Denver took
up the matter and began to discuss it.
This subject they all seemed to feel in
their bones that they were qualified
to discuss. The great modern daily is
a truly wonderful production. The
calibre of their editors is fully meas
ured by this discussion.
Morton has for the once quit talking
about the "establishment of the gold
standard" and gone to declaring that
populists believe in irredeemable pa
per money. The gold standard has
got so far in the distance that even
Morton can't see it any more. Pop
ulists believe in a money that is every
where and all times redeemable not
In one thing at one place but in all
things. Every time a man takes, a
greenback In exchange for corn or
wheat or any other thing or service,
it is redeemed. The idea of an "irre
deemable money" is one of those crazy
delusions that Morton indulges in
more and more every year of his life.
The bankers love McKinley with an
undying love and the bondholders have
just as ardent affection for Secretary
Gage. Gage has been buying short
term 4s lately and paying as high as
113 for them. That is simply a little
plan to pay the interest on those
bonds four years in advance and allow
the holders to re-Invest their money.
Very soon those bonds will become
due and payable without any premium.
These gifts to bankers and bondhold
ers go on from day to day and the
great opposition dailies have not a
word to say. Pay-day for this will
come in the future.
In the eyes of the old State Hypo
crite the United States and "our col
onial possessions" are the private
property of McKinley. In an article
concerning that individual's journey
through the country it says: "It is
quite natural that now he has some
time to spare, he should look about
his big domain a little to see whether
it is really prospering or not." So
these United States is McKinley's do
mains. If any one denies that state
ment he is a "lunatic" or "a long
haired, wild-eyed pop."
The worst defeat and by far the
most lasting that ever befell the demo
cratic party was the "victory" that re
sulted in the election of Grover Cleve
land. Of all the victories of history
